John uses a 59 LEs Paul Custom running into a Silver Jubilee and/or a couple of mid 60s 100w marshall headds for this song and readymade (and every other song, as these are his live and studio amps). He actually used a vintage 3 humbucker SG to record the song.

Everyone needs to quit being dicks, and also, know what youre talking about before you post please. John was never a drunk, i dont know where some of you got that from.

As for trying to sound like him on this particular song (normally he uses his strat on the neck or bridge pickups depending on the song) switch to the neck pickup on your LP and kick in your distortion pedal with moderately high gain, or use the distortion channel on the MG. Then, go from there.

The gritty tone on this song in particular isnt exactly the smoothest distortion youve ever heard, so its ok if it sounds a little raw.

This.

But short of becoming addicted to deadly drugs and having your house burn down, you can get a John Fruiscante tone a lot easier. A lot of Froosh stuff is a strat into a marshall or a fender (he does have one in his right, right?). Your MG's not the greatest amp for a convincing "real" marshall tone, but it should suffice if you don't want to spend a lot on a tube marshall. Not sure exactly how to nail the fortune faded tone though, i'm not familiar with that tone. But Froosh seems to either use a bright clean tone and a slightly muddy distorted tone.
